# Runbear

> Shared AI agents for teams, deployed in Slack and Microsoft Teams

Runbear is a platform for building AI agents and placing them where a team already talks: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and, on higher plans, HubSpot and Zendesk. Each agent is defined by its instructions, knowledge synced from sources such as Notion and Google Drive, and tools reached over MCP, and it can also run on a schedule, a webhook or an app event. A separate Inbox Agent drafts replies and meeting briefs for each member to review. Pricing is by credits, not seats.

## Key features

- **Named agents in team chat:** Agents such as @Support or @HR answer mentions and direct messages in Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord. They are shared by the team, with per-user authentication.
- **Knowledge sources:** An agent's answers can be grounded in documents synced from Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, Slack, SharePoint and public websites, or in files uploaded directly.
- **Tools over MCP:** Agents act and read live data through managed MCP servers covering 2,000+ tools, or through your own MCP server. Tool approvals can require review before an agent uses a tool.
- **Triggers:** A configured agent can run without anyone asking: on a schedule, from a webhook, or when an event happens in a connected app such as a new support conversation.
- **Inbox Agent:** A personal assistant for each member that watches Slack mentions, Gmail and Google Calendar and prepares draft replies and meeting briefs. It never sends on its own.
- **Model choice, API and Web SDK:** Pick Claude, GPT or Gemini per agent, with your own provider key on Business and Enterprise. A REST API and an embeddable chat widget put agents in your own product.

## Good for

- Teams that want shared agents inside Slack or Microsoft Teams
- Support, sales and HR questions answered from company documents
- Companies that prefer usage-based pricing to per-seat fees

## Worth knowing

- Runbear runs inside Slack, Teams and Discord and is set up in a web dashboard; it has no desktop or mobile app of its own.
- Plan credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Paid plans can allow overage, billed per credit.
- HubSpot and Zendesk channels, bring-your-own key and SAML SSO need Business; SCIM and a HIPAA BAA need Enterprise.
- Team includes 5 builders and Business 10. The Free plan's credit allowance is not published.
